DISPLAY-ENVELOPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part/of Letters Patent No. 512,533, dated January9, 1894.

Application filed October 18, 1893- Serial No. 488,448. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. BILLWIL- LER, of Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedDisplay-Envelope, of which the iollowing is a full, clear, and exactdescripion.

The object of theinvention is to provide a new and improved displayenvelope or wrapper, which is simple and durable in construction,andmore especially designed forinclosing embroideries, laces, trimmings andother goods and displaying part thereof to permit of convenientlyinspecting the goods without removing the entire piece from theenvelope.

The invention consists of an'envelope having a back, sides folded overpart of the said back, and ends folded over the said sides, and havingflaps fastened to the under side of the said back.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification; in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of the improvement. Fig. 2 is atransverse section of the same on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is alongitudinal section of the same on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 isa cross section of the improvement on the line 4E4. of Fig. 1.

The improved display envelope or wrapper, is made of a single piece ofpaper, card-board or other suitable material, and is formed with a backA, and sides B, B folded over part of the said back from end to end, sothat asuitable space is left between the opposite edges and the saidsides, as will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 2. Fromthe back A, also extend the ends 0 and C, which fold over the sides Band B, at the ends thereof, and the said ends are provided with sideflaps D, adapted to fold on or be glued or otherwise secured to theunder side of the back A. Thus the ends 0 and 0, hold the ends of thesides B and B in place, and at the same time form pockets for theinsertion of the piece of goods as illustrated in the drawings. It willbe seen, that an opening is formed between the adjacent edges of thesides B, B and the adjacent edges of'th'e ends 0, 0, so that part of thegoods inclosed in the envelope or Wrapper appears, to permit ofexamining the goods without removing'the entire piece from the envelope.

It is understood that laces, embroideries, trimmings and similar goods,are usually wound on a cardboard, board or other fiat plate, whichpermits of conveniently inspecting the entire piece in the envelope orwrapper, the plate giving sufficiently to permit of introducing the endsof the piece of goods in the pockets formed by the ends 0, O, and alsoof passing the sides of the piece of goods under the-sides B, B.

It will be seen that this envelope or wrapper can be cheaplymanufactured, is simple and durable in construction,v and securely holdsthe goods in place, at the same time permitting inspection of part as asample.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent A display envelope, made of a single piece
